After the Germans adopted the Stahlhelm (on the left in the picture) during the First World War, the British must have recognized how much more protection to the wearer it offered than the Brodie Helmet.
I wonder why they did not copy the German design. Was the cost of production a factor?

Robert Graves -- Good-Bye To All That
This 1929 autobiographical work is indispensable for an understanding of how many British dealt with the memory of the Great War in the years that followed.
The accounts of the chaos and confusion of military operations were vividly narrated, but did not come as a great surprise to me. I was more taken aback by the stories of allied mistreatment of German prisoners, with Graves picking out Canadian and Australian soldiers as especially notable for this behaviour.
"Good-Bye To All That" is rich with memorable anecdote and imagery, such as tommies using machine gun cooling water to make tea, and incidents of the wartime absurd, like the story of Graves mistakenly being reported as dead, then receiving a communication from his commanding officer: “I cannot tell you how pleased I am you are alive.”
Nevertheless the horror of the war is never forgotten: “The first dead body I came upon was Samson’s. I found that he had forced his knuckles into his mouth to stop himself crying out and attracting any more men to their death. He had been hit in 17 places.”

"When the #Ginsburg family gathered in #Kaunas on June 22, 1941, fourteen of them spent the day arguing over a single question. Should they flee east behind the retreating #Soviets, or stay? They weighed the #Germans. Some recalled the German occupation of the #FirstWorldWar and reasoned that the Germans were not so bad, that life would be harder but better than under the #Communists. They decided to stay. Of the fourteen who sat together that day, #WaldemarGinsburg alone survived the war. Years later he explained what they had failed to anticipate. They had expected trouble from the Germans, “but the trouble came from a direction which we did not expect.”
That sentence contains the history of the two weeks that followed. Between June 22 and July 6, 1941, the #Jews of Kaunas learned that the most immediate threat to their lives was not the invading army. It was the people among whom they had lived. Neighbors. Tradesmen. Men from their own streets."
